Providence 2, Portland 4

Scratches/Injured: Jonathan Tremblay, Josh Engel

Oh man.. Tuukka makes a save and then leaves the rebound right in front of the net that is empty! Well, that first goal is all on you, Tuukka. Man.. please learn about leaving the net and REBOUNDS!

Then I was bored and it sounded like Providence forgot to play anymore and all Portland goals were just easy tip-ins. Ugh.

I also don't know why Kevin Regan didn't get to play. He surely should be able to tomorrow.

Wow, three fights at the same in the third. What the heck happened. I also expected to see us struggle without two top scorers on call-up...Arrggg

Check the game time too, only two hours and 5 minutes to play, even with all the penalties.

You know this team has to be tired and banged up with all the games they have had in the past few weeks.

Yeah, it definitely has hurt us to loss Vladimir Sobotka and then lose Martin St. Pierre right before this game (especially since he was the hero, literally, of Friday's game). So I know it's hard for them to adopt to yet another new line. Zach Hamill was put on the top line, but he hasn't been doing a lot yet.

I'm not sure what the fight was about. I was just listening and then Kevin (think it was Kevin and not Adam) said, OK, now he's going to fight. Hey, let's all fight"! No idea what the heck happened or why they all began fighting. Very weird. I'm off to find today's article. Maybe there is more info.

Hey, do you think it's ever going to stop snowing? ACK!!

During today's pre-game, it was mentioned that that crazy fight began because Byron Bitz wasn't happy at the way he was hit/banged in to/or something like that. But, that is why it all began. He's not nasty, so he had to have been really bothered.
